Economics, Lobbying, and U.S. Congressional Support for Taiwan: Buying American Support, 2002-2006 / Wu, Joshua Su-Ya   Journal Article
Wu, Joshua Su-Ya Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract As Taiwan-U.S. trade has increased, I hypothesize that there is a relationship between increased Taiwanese importation of U.S. exports and greater American congressional support for Taiwan. This analysis, however, finds no such empirical correlation. Instead, support for Taiwan seems to be based more on shared norms of democracy and human rights.

Summary/Abstract Since 1992, Mongolia has sought to embed itself and its neighbors, Russia and China, in regional security arrangements and international law.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Japan's reemergence as a "normal" military power has been accelerated by the "super-sizing" of North Korea: a product of the North's extant military threat, multiplied exponentially by its undermining of U.S.-Japan alliance solidarity, views of the North as a domestic "peril," and the North's utilization as a catch-all proxy for remilitarization.
